Eddie Chu

Eddie is a dev lead at gskinner, with experience in JavaScript/HTML, Flash/Flex/ActionScript and C#/XAML. He has won the title of Mr.Olympia 7 times and starred in fan favorites such as Conan, Commando, and Junior.

Traditionally, gskinner has been a shop with expertise in Flash/ActionScript technologies, and then JavaScript/HTML/CSS since the slow decline of Flash. However, in the past year we have spent a great deal of time working with C# and XAML, specifically on the Windows 8/8.1 and Windows Phone 8/8.1 platforms.

I’m not going to dive into the super technical aspects of C#, since there are plenty of resources available for that (I included some at the end of this article). This is more of an overview of some experiences working in a new technology stack; A brief description of differences in core concepts, language features, and a comparison of development tools our team has used.
